Took this hiking hat out on a week-long trail in Colorado. Breathable, comfortable, and never blew off once—even in strong winds.

Love the sun protection! I’ve tried other safari hats but this one stays cooler and the chin strap actually works when scrambling uphill.

Saw the REI Co-op Sahara Guide hat review and gave this one a try. Did not disappoint—feels light, repels water, and floats like a dream!
